Wilson Earl LOVE, Appellant, v. The STATE of Nevada, Respondent.
ORDER OF AFFIRMANCE
Wilson Earl Love appeals from an order of the district court denying a postconviction petition for a writ of habeas corpus filed on August 6, 2020. Eighth Judicial District Court, Clark County; Eric Johnson, Judge.
In his petition, Love challenged his judgment of conviction. Love was convicted in 1997, was sentenced to serve 36 to 156 months in prison, and should have expired his sentence at least 10 years prior to filing his petition. At the hearing on his petition, Love admitted he was no longer in custody. Because Love expired his sentence prior to filing the instant petition, the petition was not cognizable. Nev. Const. art. 6, § 6(1); NRS 34.724(1); Jackson v. State, 115 Nev. 21, 23, 973 P.2d 241, 242 (1999). Therefore, we conclude the district court did not err in denying the petition, and we
ORDER the judgment of the district court AFFIRMED.1
FOOTNOTES
